This log is private. Only you can see your logs. Without logging in you can not see any log. Try it.

I am all over the Europe and America :-P

Yeah man I gotta say that's a bit suspicious unless you are using tor. If you aren't it's time to change your password and possibly email address.

Anyone on Tor - don't try to make sense of it unless you're restricting your exit nodes to a certain country, which kinda defeats the purpose of Tor.

Appreciated your sharing on this point. However, because theymos created this page for users to see their IPs when log-in, there is another topic to discuss, but I don't think we should fall deeply into this. Main reasons are if someone can log in your account, they obviously will change account password and (or) email; beforer real owner log in and see such strange IPs. In the worst case, account thief will see account locked if email changed more than two times. Additionally, the new recovery procedure is helpful to get account back, it is much easier and convenient if account owner sign bitcoin message as ownership proof previously.

But you should probably pay attention if foreign countries start appearing in the list.

I'm getting England in mine 😂...
Perhaps it's helpful to screen IPs from Russia and India and other countries known for hacking as a cliche.

Mobile networks seem to have exits everywhere over the UK, the 8 locations with 5G are probably the only 8 places with data centres for the companies...

Thanks iaseko this was a good bump. Its interesting to know, I was wondering if it was 30 days because Theymos deleted the other data but it seems he still hasn't.

My log is all over the place. Most entries are from unspecified UK locations, and others include Scunthorpe, Wigan, Aylesbury, London and a variety of other UK locations. The closest to my actual location is a couple of entries for Portsmouth, I haven't been to any of the mentioned locations for many years.

If you're using public hotspots or mobile networks you'll be seeing weird exit points, doesn't mean you're physically there. Geolocation is far from perfect. But you should probably pay attention if foreign countries start appearing in the list.

This made me seriously rethink my archive site: my initial plan was to later add archiving features for all pages of Bitcointalk, but changes like this would suddenly publish my IP-address so I won't continue before I have a VPS.

not sure where this change shows others your IP address. If you ignore the myips.php site and not publish this.
And the Forum Administrator has and will have your IPs by default, so this is not other than before.

maybe i miss something then explain

You're right, I could exclude this, but my worry is that similar other pages would emerge too, and if I have to disable them afterwards I might be too late.

Only the logged user can see his own IP log (for obvious reasons). No website in their right mind is going to make their user's IP addresses publicly available.

The log looks suspicious,
I have been logging from various locations, but some are definitely out of my range.
Country is the same, but very strange IP locations popping out here and there.

That's quite normal, you do not have to expect to see your exact location. It is important that country is the same, but you probably have dynamic IP which is changing at least once every 24 hours, it is same on my side.

This is normal if those places are near you and depends on the ISP.

Imagine your line as a LAN in the same nation with other PC using the same "server".

The tracking of those pc can be wrong since they track the LAN.

Anyway, if the login IP on the list is very very very far away from your and of course from another country should be a red flag.

Mine is just (Unknown), (Unknown) and sometimes it shows the correct location but among 30 days, it's just 7 times it shows my city and country.

Not necessarily suspicious though. I’ve taken a look at mine, and some place me in a different city (but within the same country). Nevertheless, if you use an IP geolocation tool (I’ve used https://www.iplocation.net), you’ll see that different geolocators give different results for the same IP. In my case, all those that place me hundreds of KMs away do have an entry from some ip geolocator that narrows it down pretty much to a nearby place in one instance or another. Some are therefore false positives I’d say.

I don't use a VPN, and I've only used Tor to log in here a couple of times. Sometimes I have to use Tor to view my own sites, and that records my access from places such as Moldavia. I don't have any of those entries in my log here. I use public WiFi quite a lot, and I also tether via my phone, and these may record IPs from various national hubs. Wigan and Scunthorpe are about 250 muiles from my current location.

Most of the IP log of my account was unspecified and I think that there is a problem with database not knowing all the possible locations in our local. Anyway, this has been good thing to know that I am able to locate the IP of which my account was log on. Yet, is there any by chance that account log in will be restricted to an IP which is acknowledge or registered? Probably it would be complicated but I think it is possible as what being done to some crypto exchanges to secure the accounts of its user.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.

There are many places I log all over even my own city can't be found, I am pretty sure this was because I use VPN sometimes and I guess it's precedented. It is on my country but range are really scattered further on my location. Just to be sure I will change password regularly.

I guess it is effects of TOR. What do you think? I just heard about TOR, that can bring anonymous, and actually use TOR, but I don't know what happened with my IPs by using TOR. Do such strange IPs likely are exit nodes? Long time ago, theymos wrote that he even does not know the real IP of @satoshi because satoshi account's owner always using TOR.

Because most of the interesting and exiting news remain hidden in a long and not so popular threads, that's why I will post this in a new, fresh thread so you people are informed >

It's tricky to get email notifications right so that they're not too spammy. Maybe later.

For now, I added this page where you can see your IP logs for the past 30 days: https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php . You could pretty easily write a userscript to periodically check this and warn you if it's weird. (But don't scrape it on every pageload.)

I don't want to make older IP logs automatically accessible because that'd give a hacker a bunch of useful/sensitive information. But 30 days is probably not too harmful.

BTW I found a new menu in the Account Related Settings :

Topic: Your bitcointalk IP log for the past 30 days now available. - page 2. (Read 1187 times)
